A young woman with a passion for romance video games enters another world, where the lines between reality and fantasy blur once one character’s feelings allow them to become aware of the endless loop that they are stuck in.

Sample:

It was just after midnight when the notification came through: a bright white light, piercing the quiet-enough, small studio apartment nestled deep within the heart of Hoboken, New Jersey.

Its current resident, a young twenty-something year old woman, was proud of her modest living space, and decorated it as best as she could with what little funds she had left after rent, utilities, student loans, and car payments decimated her paycheck.

It had been nearly three years since she moved out of her childhood home after graduating college and finally getting a job offer in the big city.

The glowing notification faded until the screen soon matched the surrounding environment: dark and quiet. For now, it would have to wait.
